Write a little more

It has been a while since I did a blog. Call it laziness, writers block, or whatever it is, the words just haven’t been flowing lately. So what’s been going on? For those who have followed me you know that I have a few books that I have put out. The last one was Beyond the Darkness which was published in October of 2017. The book chronicles a team of Paranormal Investigators and more specifically, the lead investigator, Lucas Mitchell who discovers a deep connection to the events of his past during their current investigation. Some haunting and scary things unfold culminating in events that will change his world forever.

When I first decided to write this book I realized that there wasn’t really a book like it out there. A lot of the books under the genre of Paranormal have to do with romancing a vampire or to some degree a lover’s tale with a hint of paranormal. I have no problems with books like that but I wanted to do something a little bit different. I don’t consider my book a horror book, it is more paranormal than anything else. I wanted to tell a story that would have some scares but also have deep characters. So if you are into ghosts and other spooky things but also want a good story to follow, check it out. If you are interested in reviewing this book, send me a message. I am always looking for honest reviews.

So I am jumping back on the writing train after a brief rest although its been a little more than brief. I have a couple of projects I’m working on. I have begun the follow up book to Pine Brook Falls, this would be book 2 of the series. If you have read Pine Brook Falls, please know that the next book in the series will be out next year. Stay tuned for more information and a early preview later this year. Another project is in the early stages and I am thinking of making it into a series if all works out. I will have more information about this in the future.

I wanted to share a few links I have come across. These are different sites offering writers opportunities. I have not personally checked them out so I cannot speak on their validity but in case you are interested, feel free to check them out for yourself. I am not sponsored, affiliated, or have any association with any of these organizations.
